OAKLAND,
THE BEAUTIFUL
THE

California abounds in choice resi-
dence locations. but of them all Oak
land and vicinity is incomparably the
finest. 1t has every advantage. Its
climate is most enjoyable, being never
uncomfortably warm nor disagreeably
cool. Its many charming drives, its
beautiful lawns embowered in per-
feet wealth of ever blooming flowers,
and its magnificent, soul-inspiring
views are the wonder and admiration
of all travellers. In healthfulness it
surpasses all cities Of the United
States, its death rate averaging only
IA per 1000. Its educational facilities
are thorough and complete, embrac cling
all classes from the lowest grades to
the State University, and lar surpass-
ing those of any other location on the
coast. Then it is within so minutes Of
San Francisco and has half-hourly and
splendid communication Herewith.
Furthermore, it is backed and sur
rounded by the finest country in the
world. A section that produces all

How We Seem to Scotland.

California has just passed what, in
the eyes of the citizens, is an i'm
portant milestone in its career of
progress its population now exceeds
one million of souls. Little more
than generation ago, at the be-
ginning Of the .'gold fever" it was
inhabited by only few scattered
tribes Of Indians and a handful of
ranchmen and mission priests of
Spanish blood. 1t belonged to Mexi-
CO; but Mexico knew little about it
and it's possibilities, and Europe knew
less. The cornerstone of its pros
perity was laid upon gold; and
the mining of the precious metals
is still one of the great sources
of it's wealth. In the consular dis
trict of San Francisco, comprehending
besides California the States of Neva-
da and Oregon, and the Territories of
Washington, Idaho, Utah and Arizona,
the value OF the gold, silver. copper,
and lead produced in 1886 was
G9, ,439,3 1888, or about hall OF
the whole annual yield Of the
States lying to the west Of the Missouri
river. In the "Golden State" mining
was very prosperous during the year,
and the output of the celebrated Com
stock lode OF wealth has heen struck in
the soil OF California and the yield of its
harvest has long ago exceeded the pro-
duct of it's mines. Last year the grain
crops of the State were very abundant
with the exception of wheat, and even
of wheat there was an available
surplus for expectation of 715,-
600 tons. Fruit-raising, especially
the growth of the grape, is making
rapid strides ahead, and in many
districts both of North and South Cali
fornia the wheatfields lessen and the
area of vineyards and orchards in
creases each year. In emigration
and manufacturing industries there
was d great development during 1886;
and the population of San Fran
cisco has reached 350,000. The
competition of rival transcontinental
lines, and the building of new branch
railways are having marvellous ef-
feet upon the settlement of the coun-
try. Five millions Of acres have been
entered upon for agricultural
purposes during the last five years,
and of this the Californian
immigration Association lays claim
to having been instrumental in set
Ting three millions. There is still
thirty-eight millions OF acres remain
ing unoccupied-about double the area
of Scotland-but of this ten millions
must be put aside as desert,
mountain or otherwise unpro-
ductive land, and there are
only 13 millions suitable for agricul-
tural purposes, and mostly remote
from existing centres. New towns
are, however, starting up, and new
lines are being constructed to bring
market; and as illustrating the
growth of the State it is mentioned
that II postoffices have been estab-
lished in the course of less than q
wear. Before its Jubilee comes round
California expects to be able to show
more progress for fifty years than Eu
ropean countries can show in l5OO.-

DEFECTIVE SPEECH.
Some of its Causes i'm Children
and How 1t Can We Cured.

On this subject we give the leading
points of a clinical lecture reported in
the London Lancet:
A child with cleft palate uses his
tongue and the muscles of the palate
in an unnatural way. Hence, after
the closure of the cleft by an opera
ton, no impediment remains, because
the patient is still controlled by his
previous habits. He will need, there
fore, systematic training for months
or years to acquire right habits in the
case. One prime requisite is that he
fixes his entire attention on the
teacher, and slowly initiates him as
the latter pronounces the difficult
words, making every movement OF
his lips and tongue as plain as possi-
BILE.
The palate may be so highly arched
that the child's speech is not much
better than that of the former case.
But the soft part of the palate can be
lowered by an operation and the
speech greatly improved by training.
There may be extreme backward
ness in speaking, though there is no
organic defect. Here practiced eye
will see that there is no mental feeble
ness. Speech training will be a part
of the necessary training of the intel
lectual powers.
In other cases the mental powers
generally may be good, and the child
be indeed specially bright, but for
some cerebral reason, he lisps badly
or finds it difficult to pronounce the
letters or !, or he speaks in baby
ish way. Such patients will generally
overcome the difficulty in time.
Sometimes the voice is "stuffy,"
especially in endeavoring to utter N, n
or nq. The word morning sounds like
bordig. This is due to growths in the
nose or back mouth. On the removal
of these by surgical operation the
voice RECEIVERS its normal character.
Enlarged tonsils sometimes cause a
somewhat similar difficulty.
Another defect is stammering.
Usually the person has nervous con-
stitution and has been subjected to
some nervous strain, generally at
school. In such cases all disturbing
causes should be removed and the
nervous system be invigorated as far
as possible. But the stammerer must
be taught to speak with deliberate
enunciation, initiating the teacher in
the utterance of all difficult words,
and especially filling the lungs we'll at
every stop Youths Companion.

WITHOUT IRRIGATION

Its advantages as a manufacturing
site are drawing to it many of the
chief industries of the State. And it
is the natural and inevitable terminus
of all transcontinental railroads enter
ing the State. Finally, though rising in
value, land is still cheap compared
with locations of much less merit, and
thus for homes or investment presents
splendid opportunities.

Kansas Produces Nothing But Wonders.
Just now South Central Kansas is all ex-
element about inland sea bathing In the
Salt Lake near Geuda Springs, Kansas. It
is said to be the only inland salt lake In the
United States except the one in Utah, and is
pronounced by medical experts to contain
properties that make it much superior to
surf bathing.
The springs at that place are also one Of
the strange natural curiosities of this CONT
nent, being seven In number and each diff
ferent in mineral constituents, and are all
situated within space of thirty feet square.
A complete analysis of these springs has
never been made, but the excitement caused
by the cure of several cases supposed here
tofore to be incurable, and notably one of
them being Addison's disease, for which, 1t
is said by medical works, there is no cure,
has caused the corporation who have recent
ly purchased the springs to employ Prof. T..
81. S. Bailey, Professor of Chemistry, Me-
tallurgy and Mineralogy, in the Kansas State
University, one of the most eminent Chem
lists in this country, to make critical guam
titative analysis in order to determine each
mineral ingredient and the amount of it,
contained in these mineral waters, and as
soon as completed it will be made public.
In the meantime, the Geuda Mineral Springs
Company, of the town by that name. is be-
ing flooded with inquiries from every state
in the Union, and it now looks as If Saratoga
and other rrominent resorts are to be for
gotten in the excitement over this new Kan.

When Barnum Paid for Drinks.

At recent dinner, by the way, q
story was told of Barnum. "He is a
temperance man now," said one of the
party, "but I remember when he set up
the drinks for distinguished crowd.
He didn't do it out of pure good-nature,
either. 1t was twenty-six years ago,
at the Profile House in the Franconia
Mountains. Barnum was feeling pretty
smart in those days, and he had been
playing his jokes and cute tricks rather
freely about the house. A lot of guests
sat on the piazza of the hotel. Among
them were Commodore Vanderbilt, w.
FL. Vanderbilt, another of the family,
Gov. Gilmore's son, John Hyde, the
artist, Barnum, and number of others,
including myself Young Gilmore was
lively young chap then, but he has
deteriorated and become q minister
since. Gilmore put up the job and let
us all into it, He twisted the talk
around to physical prowess, and got
Barnum to brag about how fast he
could run. Across the plateau in front
of the hotel was rail to which horses
were tied. Gilmore proposed that we
all start from the piazza and run to the
rail, and that the last man to touch the
rail with his hand pay for the drinks
for the crowd. Everybody agreed and
we got into line, all except the Commo-
dore, who sat on the piazza and gave
the word. P. T. was lively and conf
dent, and waited impatiently for the
word. The Commodore said 'Gop and
away went the greatest show on earth
like Jumbo in sprint race. He took
the lead right away Everybody else
pretended to run for all that was in
them, but took care not to get ahead of
P. T. The Snowman got there in great
style, put his hand on the rail, and
turned round in triumph. There stood
the rest of the crowd in line behind
him, not one touching the rail. When
he heard the Commodore roar, he took
in the situation. He was the only one
who put his hand on the rail at all.

mad that he couldn't tell q plausible

nearly scared out Of their wits.
Fred, Mabel, and Louis slid off Of hia
back IN hurry. Louis began to CRY and
Harry ran as fast as his legs could carry
him. Ella climbed back in the parlor, and
hid under the sofa. In few moments
she ventured to look out of the window,
and there stood the donkey, q calm as
though nothing had happened, nibblIng
away at the grass with perfect compesure.
Ella ventured outside again, and the
others cautiously approached him. They
concluded to try him once more, as he did
not look at all dangerous.
Fred, Mabel, and Louis took their seats
on his back. Harry stationed himself be-
hind to push. Ella held out her lump OF
| sugar. The donkey smelled and evidently
enjoyed it; his ears went up; his whole
face frightened as he opened his mouth
to take in the dainty morsel. But Ella
walked on, holding her hand out tempting

By-and-by they concluded it was time to

They climbed on his back once more, but

been through that water three times; he was
not going through again.
Fred thought that whip might be a good
thing to start him. They jumped off to
search for one, when Mabel saw some
donkey. She climbed on his back, stood
securing nice long switch when the dom
key suddenly started off on gallop, leav-
ing poor Mabel hanging to the branch of
the tree.
With her brothers help she reached the
ground in safety, but only to see the donkey
fast vanishing in the distance.
They were all beginning to feel very
hungry, but they could not ford the creek
again without the donkey, and they would
